My worst grade in school was German. Then, after graduating and when working my third programming job, I've started learning it again and I realized I'm actually really good at human languages (learning words and reading came natu

I guess you could check if the pointer points inside a data section of your program, and if yes, call strlen on it. It's all so easy!

There's also chesterton fence - maybe this dumb thing in code actually was important some time ago. Or, even worse, maybe it is still an important for a rare edge case and you just don't see how, yet.

I don't agree with the GP at all, but I think it was pretty much established that money is not the primary reason people have less children. Perhaps obvious example, in general it's the rich countries that have problems with repla

One that trusts her partner? What kind of question is this. I can't imagine my long term partner, now fiancee, wouldn't trust me with something so important to us both. Why even be in a relationship at this point.

I wonder if the removal operation is not actually O(sqrt(n)). Depending on the way we structure thought experiment of course. But as the pile of spaghetti gets bigger, the act of picking the largest one is constrained by: 1. how fast your h

This is like saying that American or Canadian has little to no difference in terms of contemporary cultural background. Technically true, but it's still a bit rude to confuse both nationalities.

I am not too knowledgeable about black hole physics, but it was my understanding that there's nothing locally interesting about event horizon: it's just the point of no return that doesn't change much for the local observer.

Of course not, but merely using tornado cash would be enough to make many "regular" cryptocurrency exchanges refuse to work with you and/or ban you. Or even someone sending you transfer from tornado.cash, or receiving a trans

This it's also not what non-euclidean means. It's just regular 3d world with portals. Games of that era often used portals in the engine, they just didn't use them to implement impossible rooms. I'm not trying to be nitp

I'm ambivalent towards American politics, but that's an argument to be made that voting people (and media) don't think in timescales longer than 5 years, and it will be the humanity downfall if we don't focus on the Eart

Thank you, I missed the point of GP clearly. I use GrapheneOS and forgot you can't deny network access to an application in a "regular" Android.

Also they actually make it easy to use their services without providing any data - you can use them by paying Monero over tor, and the only thing identifying you is a short unique "identifying number" - no emails, no names, not ev

Which flashlight app? As far as I know there is no official flashlight app (though recently there is a built in flashlight feature). How is Google responsible for a third party app that refuses to work without an internet access?

The point of certificate transparency is to have a public audit log of every certificate issued. Even if you had your own CA, you would be obliged to report every certificate you issue to the CT. This is a feature, not a bug.

You can set up your own certificate transparency listener, and get notified of every certificate created, in realtime, assuming you can handle the load. In my company we do this to scan new domains for potential phishing domains, to take th
